Tuya smart security camera automation

[Ville]

Hello!
I have my smart camera working ok now with the Tuya smart -app, but one problem. I want to make the motion detection be activated when i activate my security alarm. So, i try to make a tap-to-launch for it but it is not appearing in the device list there. Its only showing in the home-section. So how can i make it work?
Thanks,
Regards,
Ville

I have the same issue. I think some cameras does not support that function. I mean some cameras cannot allow to be switched on/off by an external trigger via Tuya/Smarlife app. I think it's a limitation of the camera that does not have that function implemented in their firmware.
In fact, I'm still looking for one outdoor wifi camera that supports it, so if anyone knows about one that supports it, I would be very grateful to learn it.
Many thanks.

Hello,
Another limitation I found is that the automation cannot be triggered by the motion detection. I would like to use human detection to start a Tuya siren I have...

I'm looking for some references of camera that can be used in the way we both need.
